🇨🇳👀 China is preparing to launch a “flying aircraft carrier” — a giant drone will carry a swarm of drones for 7,000 km
❗️In June, Beijing will launch the Jiutian SS-UAV — a drone with a wingspan of 25 meters and a lifting capacity of up to 6 tons.

Why not a flying drone for the same thing. In conjunction with satellite the pilots are safe.
Missiles, fighters, drones can be shot down, that is the cheapest.
- some chinese guy probably

Other countries are doing the same.
So THERE, China
It could just be a military marketing stunt, but let us see.
No military knowledge, just the way I see it - feel free to shoot me down 🥁
In reality, there are quite a few different ways by which the payload can be delivered/ launched.
Or like the old movies, with behind moving...
This is by the way in no means a revolutionary design and is actually already in testing by other countries...
Still not sure how the wind shear would work... Unless it's the slowest jet in history.
Btw, these type of design ideas movies rarely depict a final product or procedure mechanism. It is mainly for concept demonstration.
The US is streets behind despite all the spending.
Have they accounted for that 200-n breeze they're flying into? And the big fat engines sucking in air? Mmmm-kay ...
Good luck.
wondering if it wouldn't be better to have the belly open instead of these absurd side doors and 'drop' them out at an angle to give them a little head start at correcting their trajectory
(Except Arsenal Bird looks cool compared to that thing)
Launch drones from a forward flight, even at low speed, would need to have gyros fitted. Then bombs guidance systems.
I'll call bullshit on this.
